Development Impact Fees Development Impact Fees are charged to new development in certain areas of the City of Phoenix, to help pay for infrastructure and public services that need to be expanded as a direct result of the new development. Development Impact Fees are not charged in all areas of the City of Phoenix, and where they are charged, they vary based on the area, the type of use, and the size of the development. Wondering if your development is in an area where Development Impact Fees are charged, and how much they will be? Please use the links on the left side of this page to find answers to your questions.
Information on the State-imposed moratorium In 2009, the Arizona Legislature approved House Bill 2008, which (among other things) imposed a moratorium on new or increased development impact fees until July 1, 2011. After being modified several times, the moratorium is now set to expire on January 1, 2012. Please note that while the moratorium prevents increases to existing fees and/or new impact fees; it does not prevent collection and administration of existing impact fees. If you have questions regarding the moratorium, please contact Christopher DePerro. Senate Bill 1525 On April 28, 2011, Governor Brewer signed SB1525 into law. This bill rewrote most of the State statutes regarding Development Impact Fees, and will cause changes to the City's Development Impact Fee Program. The first change will be the elimination of the Solid Waste and Equipment Repair Facilities impact fees on January 1, 2012, as these categories no longer qualify under the revised State statutes. Watch this space for information regarding additional program revisions, and also check out the Impact Fee Update Process page for more details.
